The Kari Byron Effect refers to a woman who is attractive, but whose attractiveness is emphasized or exaggerated largely based on her being the only woman among a bunch of men (Jamie, Adam, Tory, Grant).
My only female co-worker seems hot, but it's probably just the Kari Byron Effect in action.
When someone slowly gets worse and worse at something the longer a session goes on. This effect is mainly caused by the brain sabotaging the session because it grows tired of shit and wants to do something else.
Person 1: AGHHHH!!!
Person 2: You good?
Person 1: NO! I'm trying to beat Deadlocked, but every time I play, I just keep dying earlier!!! I hate this game!!!
Person 2: No you don't. You're just experiencing the Geometry Dash Effect. You gotta take a break to do something else.
Person 1: Yeah. Wanna make out?
Person 2: Hell yeah
*kissing ensues*
